The American patriot

Born in Philadelphia in 1754, young Wrialle developed a love for his homeland, which he began dreaming of separating from England in his childhood. After the independence of the United States of America in 1776, he became involved in the American Revolution, which would only end in 1783.

The following year, he decided to go to Portuguese America. He settled in Vila Rica, Brazil, which was also beginning to experience some political unrest. Initially the target of Glebson's distrust, he became a great friend of his.

But during this period, Wrialle met a young peasant woman named Fabiana, with whom he fell in love. Fabiana could hardly believe that she had aroused the interest of a foreigner from the former English America. Wrialle also befriended the Frenchwoman Jacilene and others in the city, such as Milena, Brenda, and Neide.

He also became involved in the Bahian Conspiracy, as his wife Fabiana was from Bahia. After the conspiracy was defeated, they managed to flee to Goiás and later returned to Vila Rica.

In 1824, two years after Brazil's independence, Wrialle, already 70 years old, decided to return to the United States. Fabiana accompanied her husband there, and the two lived together in Philadelphia.
